Most of these tips and tricks are focused on min-maxing profits. I only recently started but I'm having so much fun just trucking, visiting countries, seeing the sights. Also you lost me at "Spain, Italy and France are also great cities to start your journey in"
I think in the beginning you need to focus on earning money and hiring drivers. And then you can freely experience the game. At least that's how I do it. Also sorry about that "cities" mistake. I didn't notice it before posting. Thanks for the comment :)
@@lootamatic I think it really depends on how someone approach this game and what they want out of it, but it mostly comes down to one of two things: take the economic route (base every decision on profit) or take the scenic route (do quick jobs until you can afford a truck and enjoy the ride). Both are very legitimate playstyles and you can switch along the way as you please! (unfortunately not a common thing in a lot of games). And sorry I pointed out a mistake, when I noticed it I couldn't unhear it..
You can actually exploit the used truck market to make some additional money fast early on. You can often find almost new trucks with only a few thousand km on the clock really cheap, say a Volvo FH for about 90k €, and then sell them for almost the price of a new one to make 20-30k immediately. You can even take out a loan for that for free - if you pay back the loan without a day passing since taking it out, you only pay back the original amount. And if you need to buy a garage to have the space for those trucks for the few seconds that you own them, you can also just buy that and then immediately sell it again for the full price you paid. All you need is an idea of how much you can sell that almost new truck for.
To enjoy this game and get real experience, just turn on the real life simulator like " Real fuel consumption, Air break system, Manual gear shift, manual trailer attachment,turn off screen mirrors and use only truck mirrors, use internal cab camera,open and close windows, follow road signs and speed limits, turn of mini map and follow the signs of cities and so much more. That way you will love this game like I do❤
I have to disagree! If you really want to dive into the ATS/Ets2-experience you don't need white spots on the map. You should get all regions, maybe step by step, but you can't do without it! I would subscribe your other tips.
Good point. Buying DLC packs was a suggestion for beginners to ease into the game as it's better than just getting the base game. Otherwise the total for all DLCs is not very pocket friendly
@@lootamatic That´s true, BUT the price even for a single DLC is ridiculous low for what you get. Especially in comparison with other games. I was in many other games a spend a really lot of money just to exit a few weeks later. :D Who really has discovered nearly 100% of the ATS/ETS2-map or getting all the achievements by just playing the game? This is what it´s all about I think. But in the end it´s just my opinion. ;)
Insert truck mod, one of those that costs 20/35 K. Buy it, in it´s most basic form. Use it. Get of the game. Remove the mod. Re-enter the game. It will be replaced by a Scania that costs about 111,000 K. Sell it. About 80/90 K of profit. Repeat the process. You're wellcome!
Nice 😊
